Deep in the scorching sun of the Rub' al-Khali Desert, the club's motorcade was quietly waiting between two 100-meter-high sand mountains, waiting for the approach of the billowing smoke five kilometers away.

The terrain here simply does not allow them to avoid or retreat, because no matter which option they choose, there is no way to avoid the pursuit of the opposing convoy. Rather than doing this, it is better to prepare in advance.

Under the command of Xianyu, Haining drove the maintenance truck to the front and placed it horizontally. At the same time, he turned on the strong wind fan. Amidst the violent noise, the fine yellow sand was blown into the air, and under the action of the strong wind, it quickly formed a shield.

The sun-blocking wall of sand and dust completely blocked the view directly ahead of the convoy.

The other cars quickly retreated a hundred or ten meters, and then Asak and He Tianlei each climbed up to the mountainside of the sand mountains on both sides with half of their men, set up their weapons, and waited quietly.

The unusual sight here obviously attracted the attention of the approaching convoy. Under radar monitoring, the other party stopped less than two kilometers away from them. After a brief stalemate, one of the vehicles pressed the button.

The horn sounded, all the headlights were turned on, and the car slowly drove over.

At the same time, the public radio channel also rang out calls from the other party in Arabic and English.

"What did the other person say?" Shi Quan switched the radio and asked.

"The other party said that he is Emil's son, Burkan, and he came here specially to invite us. Well... to be precise, he was talking about the Dragon and Bear Adventure Club. He came here specially to invite us to participate in the cross-country competition organized by them.

Liu Xiaoye said proactively.

"Dr. Liu is right," Issachar confirmed Liu Xiaoye's translation.

"Yuri, Emil is the Arab millionaire who helped us enter the country. He participated in the auction we organized." Big Ivan reminded, "But he didn't say that he would send a son to invite us to participate in some cross-country competition."

"Meet them"

Shi Quan made a decision in a blink of an eye. In any case, since the other party can block them here, it means that they have been prepared. Even if there is a conflict, even if the other party cannot take advantage, he has just started.

The exploration may also have to be suspended.

As the order was given, the strong wind machine that had been running at full power slowly became quiet. When the sand floating in the air fell, the car in the distance that was distorted by the heat jumped out of the way and reached a position about 200 meters away from everyone.

Stop.

Amid everyone's alertness, He Tianlei, Deng Shuxiang and the twin brothers cautiously approached each other and carefully inspected the other party's car and body. Only after confirming that there were no dangerous explosives, did they confiscate their sidearms and take them

They brought it back.

When this shit-yellow FJ Cruiser stopped less than five meters away from the maintenance vehicle, a blond middle-aged man in a suit gracefully stepped out of the rear compartment and stood in the shadow of the RV.

Shi Quan and Da Ivan, who had one hand on the handle of the gun, said respectfully in English, "Mr. Shi, Mr. Ivan, good afternoon. I am Mr. Bulkan's butler James. I had the honor to follow Ai two years ago.

Mr. Mir attended the auction on the shores of Lake Baikal."

After listening to Xianyu's translation, Shi Quan remained silent, but Big Ivan had already warmly stepped forward to shake hands with the other person, and said nonsense, "I remember you, thank you Mr. Emil for helping us on this journey."

, I don’t know if this time is..."

Butler James smiled and said cryptically, "It's just Bulkan's own decision. I hope you don't mind his willfulness."

capricious?

Shi Quan and others looked at each other. If they could use willful, they are probably still children, and children often mean trouble. However, the other party was already blocked in front. Obviously, even if that so-called Burkan was not weaned, he still needed to see him.

Meet once.

Under the leadership of this middle-aged butler who was full of British style, the convoy extended the distance between the cars and drove forward along the valley between the two sand mountains for less than ten minutes when they saw the other team's convoy.

"I just like this kind of stupid rich tycoon." Big Ivan muttered to Nasha who was sitting in the passenger seat, his bull's eyes already glowing green.

Not only Big Ivan had this reaction, but the others also had the same reaction. At this time, nearly 20 MAN 8X8 RVs in various paintings were blocking the road directly in front of the convoy. Directly in front of these luxury RVs, there were

The same number of off-road vehicles of various types, as well as several trucks obviously used to transport supplies including fresh water and fuel.

In the cab of the medical vehicle, Xianyu licked his lips and joked, "I also have two 107 rockets hidden secretly in the back cab. In this terrain, as long as we blow up their heads and tails, the ransom alone will be enough."

You can become the richest man in the world.”

"I'd be happy to see you do this." From the co-pilot's seat, Issachar encouraged him with a bad voice, "Maybe the treasures guided by my astrolabe are these rich people."

"You should rest for a while." Xianyu curled his lips disdainfully, "Or we can give you to them, and maybe the reward from the other party will be equally large."

Hearing this, Issachar raised his middle finger, then silently took out a plaster from Liu Xiaoye from the basket between the two of them and put it on the tiger's mouth. Then he took out a pair of gloves and put it on, covering it completely.

A six-pointed star tattoo on the tiger's mouth.

After a brief stalemate, a young man in a white Arab robe stepped out of the RV headed by him. On this man's left arm stood a falcon wearing a leather hood, and behind him, there was a pacer.

A staggering pre-teen leopard cub.

"Xianyu, Issachar will help me translate. Everyone else remains vigilant and turns on the safety." Shi Quan greeted with a hand console, then took out his gun and hid it under the steering wheel to check, until Xianyu came with a ruthless expression.

Issachar got out of the car and walked over. Then he opened the door and jumped out.

"Hello Ni'er, you shit dog." The rich second-generation Arab said in broken Chinese a warm word and extended his hand to Shiquan.

Shi Quan grinned and shook hands with Xianyu and Issachar as they tried their best to hold back their laughter, "How about you too."

Fortunately, this wealthy man who looks to be in his early 20s at most can speak Chinese like this, otherwise he would not be able to help but take out his gun and kill the opponent...the flat-haired beast on the other hand.

In Issachar's translation, the two communicated quite happily, and it was obvious that the other party's attitude was surprisingly good, and at the same time, they were extremely curious. They made no secret of their interest in the purpose of their visit to the Arabian Peninsula.

curious.

Although he didn't understand the other party's purpose, as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. After a few simple chats with the other party, Shi Quan smiled and agreed to the other party's invitation to the party.

After everyone returned to their cars, the club's motorcade followed the other's ass, continuing along the salt crust valley reflecting the dazzling sunlight, and after more than an hour, it left the sand mountain and stopped in a flat desert.

A dozen large tents have already been set up here, and there is even a Unimog with a high-power air conditioner outside each tent, providing a steady stream of cool air inside the tent.

In several of the tents, long solid wooden tables were filled with sumptuous food, and a dozen beauties in bikinis had been waiting for a long time while holding trays with goblets.

"Maybe this is really a treasure guided by Issachar's astrolabe," Elena, wearing a camouflage uniform, held Shi Quan's arm and joked in a low voice, "At least 72 grape beauties are already here."

"You'd better not let Issachar and those young rich people hear this." Shi Quan responded while suppressing a smile.

Xianyu left the Nenets and Master Deng in the RV to stay vigilant. Shi Quan, Dayi Wan and others participated in this unknown desert party at the warm invitation of each other, and at the same time they also got to know nearly

20 sons of Arab tycoons like Burkan...

It's just that from beginning to end, the other party never mentioned the purpose of their coming, and even the so-called cross-country competition seemed to be just an excuse.

From the afternoon until dusk, except for Big Ivan, who had always wanted to chat with those beautiful grapes about life and ideals, and the soft flesh in his ribs was bruised by Nasha, everyone was chatting quite speculatively, and these pampered young men were even more interested.

I am full of curiosity about the club’s previous adventures.

Until the sun went down, the drunken wealthy people returned to the RV with the help of their entourage. Shi Quan and Da Ivan were also invited by Bulkan to a separate convertible.

"Mr. Shi, Mr. Ivan." Bulkan held the wine glass, "To be honest, I am very curious about what treasures you can find in the Arabian Peninsula this time."

After listening to Issachar's translation, Shiquan and Dayiwan fell into hesitation. This question had already broken their rules. After all, this commission was issued by Issachar. No matter how Shiquan and Dayiwan planned to trick him,

They were all obliged to help him keep the secret. But when Bulkan asked this, it was easy for Issachar to misunderstand something.

As if he had guessed what Shi Quan and others were thinking, Bulkan took a sip of the cold wine and then said bluntly, "I want to buy an interesting enough gift from you to give to my father. For example, you are going to dig it out."

s things."

this...

Shi Quan and Dayi Wan couldn't help but look at Issachar. They were not qualified to make a decision.

Issachar, who was originally serving as a translator, calmly sat across from Bulkan, took off the gloves he had worn all day and shook hands with the other person, "I am the client of this treasure hunt, Mr. Bulkan, maybe you

It would be more appropriate to negotiate this deal with me."

Burkan was not in a hurry to shake hands with Issachar. Instead, he glanced at the plaster on his mouth with a strange expression. After a moment of silence, he stretched out his hand and said with almost certainty, "Jew?"

Issachar was not surprised, he just smiled and nodded, staring straight at Burkan who was also wearing an Arab robe.

"Can I discuss this deal with him?" Bulkan let go of Issachar's hand and turned to Shiquan and Da Ivan to ask.

Shi Quan and Da Yiwan are certainly not stupid. The other party wants them to be guarantees.

After listening to the translator standing next to him, Da Iwan took the initiative and said without waiting for Shi Quan to speak, "We came to Saudi Arabia this time mainly to complete the treasure hunting mission entrusted by our employer. Other things have nothing to do with us."

A big smile appeared on Bulkan's face, "In this case, Mr. Shi, Mr. Ivan, we will organize a RV desert cross-country race near here tomorrow morning. I hope you can participate on time."

Shi Quan picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party, took a sip and stood up simply, "We will participate on time. In addition, Mr. Bulkan, our other entrusted task is to ensure the safety of our employer."

"Of course my friend" Burkan smiled and nodded, "I will also ensure your safety, no matter where you come from."

"See you tomorrow then" Shi Quan raised his hand and greeted Big Ivan to leave the luxurious tent.

It wasn't until the two of them were far away that Ivan the Great complained, "We shouldn't give up the opportunity of this transaction to Issachar. Don't forget, we can get half of the harvest."

"Do you really think you can dig up a mountain of gold with this commission?"

Shi Quan lowered his voice, "It would be nice to have this Bulkan who comes out on his own initiative, he can just stand up for us."

"What do you mean?" Big Ivan couldn't react for a while.

"You can't remember who Issachar worked for so quickly?" Shi Quan took out his cigarette case and gave the other party one. When two scarlet cigarette butts appeared in the night, he whispered, "

That astrolabe essentially belongs to the Jewish revenge organization, which is why I have always been reluctant to accept Issachar's commission.

Now the Jewish lunatics are busy dealing with that fragile lunatic, but once they are free, do you think they will let us go? Especially once we sell the treasure guided by the astrolabe to the Saudis, do you think we can still calm down for the rest of our lives?

?Just look at that fragile situation and you will know.”

Big Ivan swallowed and said fiercely, "I hope there is nothing valuable in the final position pointed by the astrolabe. It's best to bury it with a lively mustache!"

"I hope you mean what you say"

Shi Quan teased the other person and flicked the cigarette butt that he had just smoked, "Go to rest early. Have fun with these gentlemen tomorrow and just relax."

"In the afternoon, I heard that the stakes for the cross-country competition they organized were very high." Big Ivan suddenly became excited again, "It is said that even those sexy and beautiful starlets can be used as bets. Yuri, it's not as good as us...

.”

"You're not afraid that Nasha will destroy your sewer outlet with one shot, and you can win back the bet you mentioned." Before Shi Quan finished speaking, he had already slipped in through the RV hatch opened by Elena.

"It's as if I don't need maids or servants in my castle from now on," Big Ivan said in a timid voice, and he opened the hatch and got into the brightly lit RV.

With the departure of Shi Quan and Big Ivan, what deal Issachar and Burkan had reached became a secret that only the two of them knew. As the temperature in the desert dropped sharply, except for the two parties responsible for the night watch,
Chapter completed!
